Dance2Decade: French Hardefenders
02/09/2008 11:13
Welcome on the VIP-Blog of Dance2Decade!
Because many people asked us to translate all the Dance2Decade's articles of the official website, we decided to create a new web page for them.
We are proud to feel many interests from the european organizators, Dj's and forum's users. We can see that everybody is convinced that we are in the right way!
Then, on the VIP-Blog of Dance2Decade, you'll can find 4 mains categories:
- Dance2Decade organization - The News of the french and international Hardcore scene - Hardcore music, with the last releases, mixes - The articles, in wich you'll can discover a lot of interesting things about your favorites artists, the scene in Europe, France, the labels, the point of view of the society about Hardcore music, the past, the present, the future of this music..
But now, if you don't know Dance2Decade, you may be curious about it..then, here is the story of the Dance2Decade project.
Dance2Decade is a new organization wich promote Hardcore music in France. Officialy created in may 2008, D2D is the consequence of many reflexions. Still considered as a violent and racist mouvement in our country, Hardcore music remains an underground mouvement. Even though there are many Hardcore fans in France, the catastrophic past of this mouvement here, stay in all minds.. But after a serious marketing study, we understood that the communication beetween the Hardcore scene and the other cultures/the society in general was deficient. Then, Dance2Decade will become the new comunication tool,the essential link wich will relate and expose the trues values of this mouvement, one of the most opened we can find! The most various too, regarding of it's numerous styles of core, really different, from the Uk Hardcore to the Speedcore, Darkcore, Gabber, Happy, Experimental and many more! Wich style of electronic music could pretend to be as rich as Hardcore?
>>> For us, and for many international artists of the international electronic scene, the Hard music represents the future. So, we will try to developp and to structure the biggest mouvement never known in France, and show those who don't believe in us, that all is possible!
What represents Dance2Decade? Dance2Decade is only at the begining of its existence. But our goal is not to be a concurrent for the French actors of the Hard music scene, but the main link beetween the mouvement and the media. In order to show to the society what really happen in these parties, we will be in permanent contact with artists from all over the world, the Hardcore fans world wide but we need the impact of the medias too. You can understand that everybody is concerned by the Dance2Decade evolution. At last, the Dance2Decade corps will be composed of these partnairs from all our national associations but almost the international's one, wich with we are in contacts and give us many supports, showing a real interest for the music and it's futur.
What are our priorities? For the moment, at the begining of the existence of D2D, we can say that we are nothing. After only 4 months, and because we want follow our way in total security, time is our allied. That's the reason why, during the first months, our objectives will be to create and to make grown our community. But all people joining us have to have the same spirit and to agree with all our ideas. To developp our project together, not "my" project, not "his" project, but "our" project.
With our partnairs in Europe, we will try to diffuse our artists and the french touch of this Hard music. Web radios, radios, meetings, and many more operations will be usefull to show the French Hardcore has always existed, but is now increasing and the artists of the furure can be our young frenchies! Dance2Decade will make you discover what France can bring to the Hardcore in Europe, and make discover in our country what we haven't here yet!
In the following topics you'll discover: - Our Community - Our position about racism, drugs and violence - Our partnairs

Our community
02/09/2008 15:25
In order to structure our project, and because we think that sharing our own experiences each other is the best way to follow, we found, creating an online forum, the best way to join and to communicate with more and more people easily.
Nowadays, the internet communication represents more than 50% of the informations diffusion and is becoming the most important and popular support.
That's the reason why the Dance2Decade forum welcomes all Hardcore lovers from France. Because Hardcore is extremly various, the discussions concern every styles of Core, from the Happy sounds to the Terror sounds. Artists, Dj's, Producers, profesional or not, all are invited in our community. Each associations and organizations presidents and directors have to consider Dance2Decade as his communication tool, and a way to communicate their informations, artists, music, claims, parties informations and many more! To share our experiences could be the best way to not destruct the core, like in the past! Nobody has to think personaly, but think for everybody, for the group! You don't have to developp something for you, but for people,don't forget you are not alone!
We are deeply convinced that everybody can bring us interesting ideas for the future.
The english speaking forum: Dance2Decade, of course represents the French Hardcore style. You can understand that our main preoccupation was to create a french community. But at that time, with the numerous support brough by most of our neighbours, and seeing the little succes of Dance2Decade since a few weeks, we decided to create a complete section for the english speakers, from all over the world! Artists and Hardcore fans from Denmark, England, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland or Netherlands are already members of the Dance2Decade community! Material discussions, download mixs (legal), upload yours, general discussions about the international Hardcore music..are now available on the D2D english section!
It could be logic for you to imagine that our community is only about Hardcore music. But we have our own vision about the word "community". We are not a clan, then, we decided to invite all those wich didn't like Hardcore music. Curious and you want to discover it? Don't like it and you really want to explain us why? Or you want to talk about everything you have in mind? No particular topics? Sports, Multimedia, General discussions.. your dog is too fat? Mum is in the bathroom? Your car can fly? Superman doesn't exist for you?
You have to now that no illegal activities are allowed on D2D! No illegal downloads, no hacking, no sex, no drugs speaking, no racism and no violence!
When you become a Dance2Decade member, think about this agreement, and never forget it!

Music Against drugs, racism and violence
02/09/2008 23:18
Since the begining of the Hardcore era, the Hardcore music drag on the baddest reputation of the electronic music scene. From drugs addictions to the racism, Hardcore appears to the society as a diabolical music, and a negative and dangerous mouvement.
In the past, Hardcore music could have been in relation with the extremists sides. Nowadays maybe there are still people wich have this kind of beliefs. In the past, that's right, Hardcore music was sometimes a violent culture, and not only the music.. Hardcore often talk about drugs, and the lyrics of a few tracks can be interpreted in this way.
Nevertheless, now, can we still consider that Hardcore music is a racist industry? Some of the most succesfull artists of the planet aren't white people, we can talk about the Rotterdam Terror Corps team, with Sier Raw, we can talk about Bass-D, The Viper, the Darkraver, and many more! Think about the United Gabbers Against Racism and Facism, known by everybody at that time! Of course Hardcore music contains racist people. But is the society dreaming? Does she really think that racist only listen to Hardcore music? Or could we fond racist wich listen trance music? House? Techno? Rock 'n Roll? Classic music? R'nB? Is the basic racist allways shaved off? Or does he can have long hair?
Is the society as opened as she pretend? Unfortunately, maybe not.. Hardcore music is opened to many cultures, its force since the begining! The most experimental style of music, the only trying to evolve, and to bring something new.
How could we describe the evolution of the horror movies nowadays? Aren't those movies more and more violent and blooded since the firsts one? Why don't people have a bad look about this evolution? Because the cinema industry has been turned into the public medias, she's present on the radio, on TV, in the supermarkets, on your clothes and in our favorites video games! Just try to be opened as you are about the cinema, even though you don't like it, but stop to think bad!
We have to accept that many people don't have the same tastes! We can say: "I don't like it", are we right if we think: "hey this is only a shit!"?
All that to say that racism and violence don't concern only Hardcore music but the society!
Then, it's important for us to precise that Dance2Decade don't fight against racism! We only think that racism and music are radically different and we are against negative political message and hate in our music! We will hardly defend our conviction about it, music is not a political message, just music! We can accept that people don't think the same, and we respect these differences, but we won't accept those which don't respect our beliefs!
We defend the same ideas about drugs. You are responsible of your life, so do what you want, but respect the music and the people! We are deeply convinces that somebody who needs drugs isn't a party people but only a desperate junky.
Be sure that Dance2Decade will hardly represent it's ideas and defend them till the end!
